This is the README file to go with the paper Econgraphics, by Chapman et al, published in JPE:Micro.

The do files are mostly self-documenting. The main do file is "runDoFiles.do", which runs the subsidiary do files in the proper order. It also contains the most important global parameters.

All data is in econographics.dta. Other data files are derrived from that, and placed in the datafiles directory by default, but this can be modified in the "runDoFiles.do" file. Generated datafiles from the last run of the code before submission are in the "submissionDatasets" folder. 

Output is, by default, directed to the "output" folder. This parameter can be modified in "runDoFiles.do". Generated output from the last run of the code before submission can be found in the "submissionOutput" folder.

This bundle also contains the design document and screenshots for the study.

Note that the standard errrors in the paper are generated via bootstrap. As this is a bespoke bootstrap (rather than one implemented by STATA), there is no way to set a particular "seed" and so the bootstrapped standard errors may vary slightly from those in the published version. As we do not use standard errors for inference, this does not create a substantive problem, but is useful to be aware of when trying to replicate our study.

At various points this code has been run on UNIX, MacOS, and WinTel machines. The last run of the code before submission was on an Intel-based Mac (MacBookPro16,2) running MacOS 12.6 (Monterey), and STATA/SE 15.1 on October 13-15, 2022.
